The Times Recorder reports that "Money that Jonathan Sims paid for child support -- for a child that was determined through DNA testing not to be his daughter -- was finally returned to him last week by the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services through the Muskingum County Child Support Enforcement Agency"

Code Monkey writes "This month's Men's Health magazine includes an article about the way men are overwhelmingly portrayed as idiots and losers in today's sitcoms. While the author doesn't do much more than complain about this situation and offer examples of it, I do think this is a good sign that the issue is being discussed in a maintstream mag like Men's Health. The media does have an impact on our culture and we should care about the consistently negative portrayals of men as incompetent jerks on TV."

mens_issues writes "I have created a new Yahoo! Group called Warren Farrell for
governor. The web address of the group is:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/WarrenFarrellForGove rnor/

Please join this group and support Warren in his bid for governor of
California. Even a couple of hundred members would bring this group
into the top ten California politics groups, making it more visible
to those seeking such groups on the web.

Anon User Writes: "One of the greatest dangers men and fathers face today is the way restraining orders based on false domestic violence allegations are used to drive fathers out of their children's lives. There have been numerous documented cases of decent fathers being arrested for sending their children birthday cards, attending their son's Little League games, or calling their own children at the wrong time of the day. Last night Craig, a Seattle father of two who was sentenced to three months in jail for returning his ex-wife's phone call, told his story on His Side with Glenn Sacks on KRLA 870 AM in Los Angeles and KKOL AM 1300 in Seattle/Tacoma. To listen to the archive, go to His Side"

Luek writes "http://www.juryduty.org/JuryDuty.htm

One of the reasons men are oppressed under misandric laws is that these laws have never really been subjected to the process of passing muster in jury trials where jury nullification could stop the abuse.

The link above has details on just how jury nullification works and most important tells how to avoid getting tossed out of the potential jury pool due to your beliefs.

Men in the movement have to be prepared to take advantage of the opportunity to use jury nullification to stop judicial misandry when and if they ever are called for jury duty on cases like marital rape, violations under the VAWA, workplace sexual harassment and so forth."

Anonymous User writes "Steve Deluca is having computer problems and asked me to post this announcement from him about a Project Sanctuary ad that announces the "every 12 seconds" figure for female DV victims but fails to state that the same source for all of these "every XX seconds" factoids says----" Please go to read more.

Luek writes " This is a story of a father whose baby daughter was killed by her mentally deranged mother after he filed a warning with Child Protective Services stating his daughter was in grave danger being in custody of the mother.

He is suing the CPS and one of the points in his lawsuit is that he was virtually ignored by the apparatchiks in CPS because he is a male. Let's hope he wins big!"

Stephen Baskerville does great work. It should be read and passed around. I believe the Courts are already in Disrepute, they are just unwilling to admit it yet. Read Here.

Valentina de Andrade, the ringleader of a religious cult which believes that all boys born after 1981 are possessed by the devil, has finally been arrested 14 years after the group started torturing, maiming, castrating, and killing little boys. Details here.

"He told a TV station in Comfort, Texas: "Pretty severe, isn't it? That she makes money off the death of my son and off the deaths of so many others.""

Code Monkey writes "I found this article in the Portland, Maine Press-Herald to be similar to a lot on the topic of men's declining enrollment in higher education. The article acknowledges that women are getting degrees at a much higher rate than men, that this gender gap is continually increasing, but makes excuses for the disparity that tries to downlplay the significance of this issue. For example, claiming that "women need college degrees just to get jobs that pay as much as the jobs men get straight out of high school", and focusing on the oh-so-urgent issue that women won't be able to find enough "qualified" men to marry. The article even refers to Boston Globe's leading male-bashing columnist, Ellen Goodman. You can send respones to the editor at letters@pressherald.com."

I never thought I would write those words in my life, but it seems that when it comes to Warren Farrell's campaign feminists have suddenly become unusually silent. Now I'm not sure what the medical reason is for this, (I'm guessing an outbreak of laryngitis), but as we all know if the feminists were healthy they'd be protesting up a storm. So it occured to me that men's activists, being the kind and helpful people we are, might want to complain about Farrell's campaign for them. See this week's challenge for details.
